Too Many Rings Around Rosie Lyrics - Stritch - Elaine Stritch

in my early childhood days 

when december seemed like may 

ring around the rosie with the boys 

i used to play 

Tommy , Andy , Harold, Joe 

eat my candy then would go 

i tried to please them all, you know 

thats why not one became my beau 

Too many rings around Rosie 

will never get rosie a ring 

too many beaus when she should have one 

you know will never bring her 

a ring around her finger 

One little name to remember 

is better than having a string 

it doesn't hurt to flirt a bit 

just use it as bait 

make your match 

make your catch 

before its too late 

to many rings around rosie 

will never get rosie a ring 

men are only grown up boys 

pretty ladies are their toys 

here today 

tomorrow they're in search of other joys 

still its nice to have a few 

all go loco over you 

still one ring to call your own 

is worth a half a dozen on the phone 

too many rings around rosie 

will never get rosie a ring 

too many beaus 

when she should have one 

you know will never bring her 

a ring around her finger 

one little name to remember 

is better than having a string 

it doesn't hurt to flirt a bit 

just use it as bait 

make your match 

make your catch 

before its too late 

cuz too many rings around rosie 

will never get rosie a 

poor little rosie a 

never get rosie 

a ring
